At the west end of downtown, at the end of Boulevard Paseo Colon, lies the former airport that is now a large wooded park called La Sabana. On weekends it’s full of families, sports players, runners, exercisers, kite fliers, picnickers, ice cream vendors and more. La Sabana serves the recreational needs of the city’s west end and surrounding barrios. It also contains the Costa Rican Art Museum, housed in the former control tower.
Open Tuesday-Sunday, 10 am-4 pm, weekends. Adults, $2, children free. Free admission to all on Sunday. The museum offers a comprehensive overview of Costa Rican art, from its early days to contemporary times, through a host of fine Tico painters and sculptors.
Ironically, the most significant work is by a French artist, Luis Ferrón, whose metal relief mural depicts the history of Costa Rica on all four walls of the Salon Dorado. The coffee shop in back, Café Ruiseñor, serves typically great joe and Tico food.
